Video. WATCH: Arrests at protest over controversial 'Russian' law in Georgia

Updated:

Tens of thousands protested outside parliament in Georgia's capital Tbilisi on Monday - more unrest is expected.

Georgians have protested against a controversial foreign influence law. 

The legislation will compel media and non-commercial organisations to register as being under foreign influence if they receive more than 20% of their budget from abroad.

Similar laws were adopted in Russia and used to stifle opposition to the Kremlin.
